About this map

Holden and Greenwood anchor this Millard County landscape, where the high desert meets an organized network of water management. The agricultural character of the region is defined by the Central Utah Canal and a series of historical water diversions including Pioneer Ditch, Current Spring Ditch, and Johnson Ditch. These systems draw from Pioneer Creek and Wild Goose Creek to support the valley floor between the elevated peaks of Cedar Mountain and Red Cedar Hill.

Tracing the path of Frontage Rd reveals the modern transportation corridor that bisects the area, while older landmarks like the Holden Cemetery provide touchstones for local genealogy. The transition from the settlement at Maple Hollow into the rugged southern terrain of North Canyon illustrates the traditional boundaries between developed farmland and the high-elevation backcountry typical of this part of Utah.
